Another kind of life is waiting behind that door

Her dandelion wine and morning glory cake

When the spirit starts to hit you'll never know what you'll find

Verse 6:
Am    E        Am     E
If you're afraid, then you better stay home
        Am     E       Am    E
'Cause there's no turning back once the dice are cast
Am     E       Am     E
Lovers and strangers will all go thru changes
     Am        G         C E  Am
When they get the good, old spirit down at the Hoodoo Bash.
